The Butterfly Effect: How My Personal Transformation Program Took Flight
When I first conceptualized the Butterfly Immersion experience, I had no idea how much it would transform not only my clients' lives but my own as well. What started as a live cohort has blossomed into a comprehensive, self-paced program that continues to grow and evolve, much like the butterflies we embody in this journey.
As a trauma-informed guide and advocate for authentic living, I've always believed in the power of self-reflection and personal growth. But it wasn't until I found myself deep in the throes of my own metamorphosis that I truly understood the profound impact of this work.
The Birth of the Butterfly Immersion
The immersion was born from a seed planted while I was floating. I remember the feeling of laying in the float tank completely submerged in darkness, silky water on my skin. Weightless and completely at ease, it was impossible to feel where I ended and the rest of my existence began. Peace radiated from my heart as I drifted in and out of consciousness and bliss.
From within the sensory deprivation chamber, I could see the image of myself as a butterfly emerging from her cocoon, her wings still damp and flimsy. I heard Spirit say to me, "You are the butterfly. Be patient with yourself, and soon you will soar."
This powerful vision stayed with me, a constant reminder of the transformation process we all go through. It resonated deeply with my own journey of healing and growth, reminding me of the times I felt stuck in my own cocoon, struggling to break free from limiting beliefs and past traumas.
I kept returning to this image, allowing it to guide me in my personal and professional life. It became a symbol of hope and possibility, not just for me, but for all those I work with who are seeking to transform their lives.
Eventually, this persistent vision blossomed into a live program, the Butterfly Immersion experience, which I launched in the fall of 2023. The live cohort was an incredible experience, filled with collective energy updates, daily voice message downloads, and group chats after our activations. It was beautiful to witness the transformations unfolding in real-time, to see participants embracing their own metamorphosis.
But the magic didn't stop there. What remained after the completion of the live cohort was a comprehensive, self-paced program with videos, meditations, and prompts that my alumni, myself, and future clients could use again and again. It became a tool for ongoing transformation, a guide for navigating life's constant cycles of growth and change.
Seriously!!! Butterflies are my favorite. So beautiful!
Using the Program for My Continued Self-Development
During my sabbatical just this past month, I turned to the very program I had created to help me overcome my tendency to overwork.
In my journal, I wrote:
"When I spend my whole day working, but also being so scattered, I feel like I lose valuable time and energy. Ex: 2 client appointments, 2 follow up emails, 1 blog/social post is about 4 hours of work but takes 5.5 hours. I stall, get distracted, don't always have clear work goals. All of this impacts me with my energy and time leaks, which take up spoons and further stall my enjoyment."
This realization was a wake-up call. I recognized how my tendency to overwork wasn't just affecting my productivity but also draining my energy and joy. As I worked through the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, and Butterfly phases, I uncovered layers of myself I hadn't fully explored before. I challenged my own limiting beliefs around work and productivity and started to embrace a new way of being – one that prioritized self-care and alignment over constant busyness.
On embracing growth, I wrote: "I feel eager, exhausted, excited, and ready to move forward from the shadow of these things. I am glad I can recognize the edges. It feels stretchy and good to challenge old norms, face fears, and more towards alignment and authenticity."
What amazes me most is how the Butterfly Immersion continues to support me, even a year later. Just this morning, I found myself turning to the Cycles and Spirals meditation. Its affirmations provided the boost I needed as I navigate the challenges of pursuing my full writing dreams.
I never imagined I'd be a person who received so much benefit from my own meditations and prompts. But since I designed this program with the highest intentions for my clients, it makes sense that it resonates so deeply with me, too!

The Power of This Self-Healing Work
As I've discovered in my own journey, this work is ongoing. We're constantly cycling through phases of growth, challenge, and renewal. The Butterfly Immersion gives you the tools to navigate these cycles with grace and self-compassion.
What I love most about this program is its versatility. Just last week, I found myself struggling with writer's block as I worked on my latest book. Feeling stuck, I turned to the Butterfly meditation and reassessed my goals. The affirmations reminded me that creativity, like all things in nature, has its rhythm. By the end of the meditation, I felt a renewed sense of patience and trust in my process.
This is the beauty of the Butterfly Immersion - it's not a one-time fix, but a companion on your ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth—a framework you can use again and again. Whether you're facing career challenges, relationship issues, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, these tools are here to support you.
I'm continually amazed by the stories I hear from participants. From the mom who connected with her inner child and stepped into a whole new level of compassionate parenting, to the artist who rediscovered their creative passion after navigating creative wounds, to the man stepping into new confidence after a lifetime of staying small - each story is a testament to the transformative power of this symbolism and self-work.
Are you ready to spread your wings and soar? Let's embrace our authentic selves and create lives filled with joy, purpose, and alignment.
Your metamorphosis awaits. Just like the caterpillar doesn't know it's destined to become a butterfly, you may not yet see the full extent of your potential. But it's there, waiting to emerge. All you need to do is take that first brave step into the cocoon of self-discovery.
I'll be here cheering you on with every flutter, stumble, and soar. Because that's what this journey is all about - embracing every part of the process, knowing that each phase brings us closer to our truest, most radiant selves.
Wishing you wings of courage and winds of change.
All My Love,
